Perfect! The bag can be heavy packed fully but it is easy to carry with the crossbody strap! What makes the bag great?: the trolly pocket, the bottom storage for shoes, the wide opening, the inside pockets, the makeup bag, and the light interior.
I’ve had this bag (in black) for exactly one year now. I have traveled 22 weeks for business (88 flights) and 8 personal travel flights. This bag is not only my personal item on the plane, but also my work bag when I land and I have never been more happy with a bag purchase.
It holds EVERYTHING, full size laptop, iPad, headphones, neck pillow, water bottle etc and the list goes on all while looking put together and classic. The trolly pass through, the expandable opening, the flap closure is all so well thought through. I continue to get compliments on this bag trip after trip.
The leather has held up, the strap feels brand new, the interior is flawless. The ONLY thing showing any wear is the twist closure. I want this bag in more colors so I never have to be without it!
I took a long time to evaluate which bag was going to make my life as a traveling business woman easiest and I can 100% confirm I made the best choice. This bag started my love affair with Jemma and I am so glad I found it. Thank you for making such well constructed handbags!
Not same quality material as in time pass when I purchased it before but was on black. Not really satisfied.
Hi Lan-Yea, we're sorry to hear that as the latest JACKIE 56 in fact uses even better quality materials than before. We are always working to improve our bags each and every year down to the little unnoticeable details for you, our JEMMAGirls :)
After working from home for 7 years for a major tech company, I accepted a job with a family owned business where I have a hybrid work arrangement.
I needed a new bag that would carry my laptop and other supplies and papers back and forth from the office and fit within the conservative definition of business casual held by the family’s elderly matriarch.
After several days of searching and finding only inexpensive, unattractive utilitarian bags or beautiful bags costing thousands of dollars, I found the JEMMA 37 in camel brown.
I’ll say it again: I love, love, love, love this bag! It’s beautiful, functional, well-made and reasonably priced. I’ve been using it consistently since early January. The leather still looks beautiful, the bag has held its shape and it looks fantastic with everything from suits to jeans. I get tons of compliments when I carry it.
The bag fits all of the following without being bent out of shape or stretching the flap: my 13” laptop, plus the cord, mouse and mouse pad, my large wallet, my double sided glasses case with my regular and sun glasses, my glasses cleaning kit, a wireless charger, a toothbrush and toothpaste kit, a pill box, a fully loaded Swiss Army knife, 2 mobile phones, a business card case, a small makeup kit, car keys and more than a few files and/or stacksof lose papers, plus an occasional can of Poppi soda.
I know some people mention that their 37 can hold a 14” laptop. Mine can’t do that without stretching the bag, which I don’t want to do.
My one criticism is that the lock scratches easily. If I were buying the bag again, I’d leave the plastic on the hardware to protect it.
Even with that flaw, I highly recommend this bag. I’m more than happy with my purchase. As noted, it was the answer to my briefcase/ computer bag problems.
What a classy travel bag! I’m excited to be able to use it! It’s a statement all by itself and yet it is so practical and roomy! This is not a bag you will see everywhere!
I got this bag for my sister, and she loves it! It holds everything she needs, including her laptop. She is getting so many compliments and absolutely adores it. 10/10!
This is my third JEMMA purchase. I love this size and the bag. For those of you who are curious, I can fit the following items comfortably:
*15" laptop (PC)
*13" MacBook Air
*iPad mini
*Notebook
*Agenda
GREAT purchase and I may get another EMMA 37, as it is a perfect work bag!
I absolutely love this bag! The size is perfect. The materials are luxurious. It definitely looks chic and expensive.
I have the Emma 32 petite in Croc Black. It's a beautiful purse and well made. I mostly love it. Great with dresses to wear to church or out with friends. The only thing is that it is fairly narrow and stiff. Harder to get things in and out than I expected. Doesn't hold as much as I had thought. But overall it is beautiful and I will certianly keep and enjoy it.
I purchased this bag as a gift for a friend. When she opened it up at Christmas, I was very impressed with the quality and the style. I like it more than the weekender bag I currently use, that I have had for years. My next fashion travel bag will be a Jemma!
I don’t have a baby, but this bag is the perfect laptop bag which holds my papers, computer, computer accessories, and other essentials. I use the interior pockets for my glasses. I love how sturdy the bag. I have also used it as my personal item at the airport as well. I have already recommended it to a friend who is expecting and looking for a stylish diaper bag. A winner all around!
This is the perfect wallet; it allows you to keep your money and cards well-organized and is made of high quality leather and hardware. There is also space for my pens and lip gloss. I also love that it converts to a mini purse and clutch.
I love this bag! It is large enough to hold everything while being so classically stylish. I love the key holder and the inside pocket which is perfect for holding playbills when going to the theater.
It’s hard to find a ladies brief case. This is beautiful and has room for everything I need daily for work.
Such a cute purse and a great size for carrying around town. The pockets built in are perfect for all my cards and phone
Thank you Taylor! We're so happy you love your EMMA 32 Petite!
A gorgeous bag that is functional and holds everything I need. Beautiful black and white design. Very happy with this!
Perfection!
Just received my beautiful so well thought out handbag!
Quality sleek and love the magnetic card holder!!!! Love love love!!!
I Absolutely LOVE this bag and will order a second tote in black. Great color, excellent material. and light weight.
After years of mini bags at outrageous prices, here comes my Emma Petite in the most glorious shade of red. It’s big enough for all my essentials, which includes a full size wallet, a small make-up bag, a hairbrush, etc. My Emma can accommodate my iPad if needed and all those odds and ends a grown woman feels she needs to carry. And the color? It’s the perfect shade of red, like a great lipstick.
I get compliments on my Emma every time I carry her. I’m thrilled with my purchase!
